My blog post today can be found on my website: Writing Down the Story. I hope you will head over there and read it.
“I marched for my grandmothers whose generation fought for my right as a woman to have a voice. I marched for my 100-year-old mother whose generation fought for the freedoms I enjoy. I marched for my four young grandsons that they will enjoy the freedoms my generation have won.”

I am a Pacific Northwest native transplanted to the southeast for 36 years. In 2012, I returned to my childhood home and fell in love with this corner of the country again. I am a grandmother, a storywriter, a teacher, an attention payer, a hiker, and a back roads wanderer. Check out my website (and my memoir) at www.gretchenstaebler.com.

I proudly, happily, tearfully marched in Austin with family! The capitol flag was at half mast. Will we keep the momentum…I have work to do locally!
